Gymnastics can be done easily inside your house or outside on your home’s yard. Do gymnastics in the morning where sunlight is shining through. This way your kid will get vitamin D from the sunlight while also doing exercises.

2.     Ball or balloon throwing

If you have a wide enough yard, invite your kid to do some ball throwing while running. But if you don’t have a wide yard to play with balls, you can use balloon as an alternative instead.

Ask your child to throw the balloons into the air and then tell them to not let the balloon touch the ground by tapping them again. Despite being a seemingly simple exercise, this game can help develop the child’s motoric ability as well as their hand and eye coordination.

3.     Dancing to music

This one should be simple enough, play your child’s favorite song and invite them to dance along with it. This fun activity not only helps increase the flexibility, strength and endurance of your child, but also doing the repetitive moves in a dance helps them form muscle and train their coordination and balance.

4.     Jump rope

Another type of exercises that you can do with your kids at home is jump rope. Use a light rope that’s easy to hold by a child. You can do this exercise indoor or outdoor on the yard like balloon throwing.

Jump rope itself is considered to be an aerobic exercise that can help reduce blood pressure and fixes your sleep quality. By doing this exercise, the body will produce endorphins that can make your child to be happier, and as a result, reduce the stress they might be experiencing right now.
